MCDONALD TABBED AS TEWAARATON AWARD FINALIST

SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Le Moyne College men’s lacrosse senior Mike McDonald was nominated for the 2008 Tewaaraton Award, college lacrosse’s highest individual honor. McDonald, who paces Le Moyne in assists and is tied for the team-lead in points, is the only 2008 men’s nominee from a Division II school.

McDonald was named the Most Outstanding Player of the Division II National Championship in his only two appearances, in 2006 and 2007. With nine more points, the senior will join Le Moyne College’s four-member 200-point club, with Jim Nee ‘99 (247), Greg Downey ‘94 (223), Ryan Spillett ‘03 (220) and Jeff Evanchak ‘94 (209). He currently ranks third on the school’s all-time goals list (124) and fourth on its assists list (77).

The attack standout from Latham, N.Y. is part of a senior class that has collected an overall record of 57-3, a Northeast-10 Conference mark of 34-2 and two Division II National Championships. Last season, McDonald was named Division II Attackman of the Year, First Team All-America and First Team Northeast-10 Conference.

There are only two non-Division I men’s lacrosse players on the Tewaaraton Award Foundation’s 22-player nomination list: McDonald and Kylor Berkman of Division III’s Salisbury University. The winner will be announced May 29 at a dinner reception in Washington, D.C.
